Homework 1

due: Friday April 8th

Realize an audification of data. The data can come from any web source, but be sure to choose a source either with periodic/oscillatory components or with distinct events (like seismograph data), or remove the "trend" from data to sonify the details. Explore at least three different speeds or transformations of the data. Submit an ipython notebook with clear descriptions of the data source and the required processing.
